May 11th (Wednesday) - Press Conference - Legendary Saskatchewan Roughrider fullback George Reed and Special Olympics Saskatchewan invites you to attend an important press conference on Wednesday, May 11th at 10.30 a.m. at Wascana Place (2900 Wascana Drive) in Wascana Park.

Special Olympics Saskatchewan was the first to be given a charter membership in Canada and currently provides programs for almost 2,000 Special Olympians throughout the province. Reed has been involved with Special Olympics since his playing days in the 1970s, and calls the experience “one of the most inspiring and gratifying I have ever been involved with.”

Special Olympics began in the late 1960s when members of the Kennedy family decided the time had come to provide athletic programs for the intellectually disabled. President John F. Kennedy had a sister who was intellectually disabled. Kennedy’s sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, was the driving force behind beginning Special Olympics. Founded in 1968, Special Olympics has grown from 100 athletes to 3.1-million worldwide in 175 countries. Special Olympics in Canada was launched by Toronto advertising guru Harry (Red) Foster, who also had a sister who was intellectually disabled. Special Olympics Canada has grown to 32,000 athletes and 14,000 volunteers and coaches.

A number of Saskatchewan Special Olympics athletes will be in attendance at Wednesday’s press conference as will be a number of local celebrities, including Canadian women’s curling champion Amber Holland, Rider legend Roger Aldag and entertainer Rory Allen. All will be available for interviews.
